Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1 cup whole blanched almonds
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
3 firm, ripe Bartlett pears
1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons apple jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan with butter; set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine almonds and sugar; process until very finely ground. Add butter, eggs, cocoa, vanilla, salt, and almond extract, if using; process until combined. Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan.
  • Peel, halve, and core pears; cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, rubbing them with lemon as you work (to prevent discoloration). Arrange slices on chocolate mixture, slightly overlapping, without pressing in.
  • Place pan on a baking sheet; bake until top is puffed and a toothpick inserted in center of chocolate mixture comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
  • Briefly heat jelly in the microwave or on the stove until liquefied. Gently brush pears with jelly; let set, at least 20 minutes. Remove tart from pan, and serve.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I made this tart with white chocolate instead. It was still delicious!

This tart was a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would use a different type of pear next time.

I had some trouble getting the tart crust to come out of the pan. I think I didn't grease it enough. Other than that, the tart was delicious.

The chocolate pear tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
